The very first LADA Car Show was held in 1987, and since then has become one of the most successful automotive shows and sales in Louisiana, and is certainly a staple for the Acadiana community.

2019-Chevy-Bolt-EV-ChargingToday, there are many all-electric vehicles on the market. The Chevy Bolt brings the electric car to the masses. Its ability to drive long distances between charges and its relatively low cost make it a great option for your next vehicle. Let’s take a look at some of the Chevy Bolt’s features that make it a serious contender in the EV category.

Going the Distance

The Chevy Bolt EV is definitely one of the best options available today for an everyday electric vehicle. With its ability to drive 238 miles on a full charge, you can take it just about anywhere. This impressive hatchback will get you where you need to go, and it’s great for road trips. It takes about 10 hours to fully charge at a 240-volt home or public charging station. You can also use a standard 120-volt wall outlet in an emergency, but doing so will take longer.

Electric vehicles require much less maintenance than a gas vehicle. This means you have more time to do what you like. A few things you’ll need to do to properly maintain your Chevy Bolt include rotating its tires about every 7,500 miles, replacing your cabin air filter every 22,500 miles, and regularly checking your brakes, hoses, and fluid levels. You can have all these services done at our service center.

2019-Chevy-Blazer-RedChevrolet is brought back the Blazer and added it to the brand’s already awesome lineup in 2019. However, this vehicle might not be what drivers are expecting. The 2019 Blazer is not the utility four-wheel drive vehicle of the past. This new model is a bold, sporty, mid-size SUV that truly sizzles. Let’s take a look at some of the features that make this new Blazer even better than before.

Sporty Look

The 2019 Blazer is both stylish and sporty. The ultra-thin LED daytime running lamps above the headlights give it a unique look, while dual exhaust outlets give it the attitude you expect from your SUV. There will be three trims to choose from––the Blazer, RS, and Premier––each with its own appeal. You can choose from 10 exterior colors to find one that suits your style.

With wheels ranging in size from 18-inches to 21-inches on the RS and Premier, you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for. With its strong grille, athletic hood lines, the new Blazer’s lean, athletic styling will surely turn heads.  Choose the RS for a sinister, all-black design, or opt for the Premier if you like bright chrome accents.

On the Road

You’ll have the pleasure of a smooth, controlled ride from the quiet cabin of your Blazer. There are two engine options available: the 2.5-liter V-6, which puts out 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque, or the 3.6-liter V-6 in the Premier and RS trims, which puts out 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. Both of these engine options offer intelligent stop/start technology, which seamlessly shuts off power to the engine when it’s not needed. They are both equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Chevrolet knows that you’re looking for adventure, so Traction Select comes standard on all models. This amazing technology allows you to choose the terrain you will be driving on and set the mode accordingly. You will also love the sophisticated twin-clutch AWD technology available in the RS and Premier trims. It provides optimized traction for every driving condition.
